Making Kaleigh's Dream Come True

Donation protected
My name is Alisha Newsome. I have a gorgeous 16 year old daughter named Kaleigh. and she was/is the victim of SEVERE bullying at school. The latest attack happened during  The Gown Guide. At her High School you are required to bring your prom gown in for approval by the administration to make sure that it follows the  The Gown Guide rules. Each girl  has to wear her dress/gown while they check hem lines, top coverage, etc.  After obtaining approval, my daughter went into the restroom to change out of her gown and she was verbally and physically attacked by a group of older girls. Not only did they call her horrible names, they told her that she just needs to stay home because they didnt want " fat, ugly, retarded trolls at their prom". My daughters gorgeous gown ( that she worked to help pay for herself) was torn to shreds and was literally ripped off of her body while they yelled these horrible things at her and physically attacked her. Her prom is on April 24, 2015. Plus we need time to pick up the gown before prom. I am currently  not financially able to buy another gown due to the rising costs of her medical bills and paying for her last hospital stay. Kaleigh was born with a glandular disorder that causes her to gain weight and it also causes her to spend time in and out of the hospital, among other things. I would give anything in the world to be  able to give her the night of her dreams. Not only does she have to deal with her medical issues and side effects of medication,she has been the victim of severe bullying for 8 years now. She has always held true to who she is. She has always stayed strong in the face of adversity .She is the kindest, sweetest girl in the world, she wants to show the bullies who attacked her that they will not ruin this night for her. And she wants to show other girls that they can do the same. All she wants is to attend her prom like any other teenage girl. Please help at all would be greatly appreciated. I want her to feel just like a beautiful princess on her special night and to be able to show the bullies that they can't hold her back.
